UPDATE, 3/12/2020: Information Regarding COVID-19 and the Chewelah School District

  • March 12, 2020

    Dear Chewelah School District Families,

    As the potential for the spreading of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) into our local communities increases, district staff want to assure you that we are monitoring the most current information and guidance from the Northeast Tri County Health District (NETCHD), the Washington Department of Health, and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction to manage our responses in this rapidly-evolving situation. The health and safety of our students, staff, and visitors are our top priority. Our actions are and will be centered on attaining the best outcomes for our students, staff and community.

    The District Administration, School Nurse, and Program Directors met this afternoon to begin developing a contingency plan for responding to recommended actions from Tri County Health and other government agencies.

    Proactive Measures

    In the meantime, District staff have been taking precautions and obtaining additional disinfectants to deal with an infection of any kind. Administration, custodial staff, and our school nurse have been working with building staff to intensify the cleaning and sanitizing of highly touched surfaces and to ensure stocking of additional cleaning and handwashing supplies.

    Updates as of 3/12/20:

    March 2, 2020

    Dear Chewelah School District Families,

    School district staff are closely monitoring reports relating to the coronavirus which causes an infection known as COVID-19. There is a great deal of information (and some misinformation) that is being generated locally, regionally, and nationally regarding this emerging health concern. Chewelah School District relies on its official public health resources to get the most updated and accurate information. This is true of ANY infectious disease such as the flu, the measles, or even the common cold.

    Health providers are in constant communication with our regional health district (Northeast Tri County Health District) and the Washington State Department of Health, the statewide agency responsible for monitoring and communicating about public health emergencies. If there is report of ANY infectious disease which may be connected to students or staff of the Chewelah School District, Tri County Health District would notify us and provide guidance as to how to respond. No notice of this kind has happened.

    PROACTIVE MEASURES

    In the meantime, District staff have been taking precautions and obtaining additional disinfectants to deal with an infection of any kind. Administration, custodial staff and our school nurse have been working with building staff to intensify the cleaning and sanitizing of highly-touched surfaces and to ensure stocking of additional cleaning and handwashing supplies.

    The following list of every day precautions have been released by Department of Health officials:

    As with any viral respiratory illness, such as all coronavirus and the flu, there are steps people can take to reduce their risk of becoming ill and spreading the virus. These include:

    · Wash your hands frequently

    · Avoid touching your mouth and eyes

    · Cover your coughs and sneezes

    · Stay away from people who are sick

    · Stay home when you are sick

    The Washington State Department of Health has established a call center to address questions from the public about novel coronavirus. The public may call 1-800-525-0127 and press #. Additional information and resources may be found at www.netchd.org and www.doh.wa.gov/coronavirus.

    Sincerely,

    Richard McFarland

    Chewelah School District Superintendent
